St. Vincent’s Annie Clark performance at Bowery Ballroom last Saturday once again proved two very important things:

1. That the intense girl crush I have on her is 100% warranted.

2. She is great at doing covers.

This show marked the final stop on the Portlandia Tour—a “unique six city tour bringing the romanticized and dreamy rendering of Portland” presented by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein—and lived up to promises that no two nights of the circuit would be alike. The tour featured the likes of Sam and Spencer Tweedy, Tavi Gevinson, and Mekons’ Sally Timms (via BV), but on Saturday night, Clark nailed the event’s tone with a rendition of Pearl Jam’s epic 90s power ballad “Black”—a fitting reference to the city’s grunge tradition as well as Eddie Vedder’s role in the first episode of Portlandia’s second season. Donning her best baritone and requesting that he audience not “fucking make me sing this all alone,” Clark rocked the tribute and did more than her fair share to support the Tour’s goal to “bring Portland to life for fans across the country.”

As an added bonus, check out a cover of “Sleep All Summer,” a Crooked Fingers original that Clark and The National took on recently.
